eBay, a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world, today announced the expansion of its global strategic partnership with Klarna, the AI-powered payments and commerce network, to the U.S. market. eBay is rolling out Klarna’s flexible payments options to millions of eBay’s U.S. shoppers. The expanded partnership reflects eBay’s continued investment in bringing more choice, flexibility, and control to buyers while enhancing affordability across key categories. 

“With more than 2.3 billion listings, eBay is where people come to shop with purpose—whether they’re looking for value, rare finds, or sustainable options such as a refurbished camera, hard-to-find car part, or a vintage handbag,” said Avritti Khandurie Mittal, VP & General Manager of Global Payments and Financial Services at eBay. “We are thrilled to expand our global strategic partnership with Klarna to the U.S. We’ve been very pleased with the positive customer and business impact Klarna has delivered in some of our key markets including the U.K. and Europe, and we’re now excited to give millions of U.S. shoppers more flexible and affordable ways to pay on eBay.” 

Since launching in the U.K., Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain in December 2024, eBay shoppers are splitting up payments to access higher-ticket items - like a pre-loved luxury watch - in a more affordable, manageable way. Electronics, fashion, and collectibles are some of the most popular categories where eBay shoppers are paying with Klarna. 

Shoppers can pay for eligible eBay purchases in the U.S. using Klarna’s flexible payments options including Pay in 4, which allows customers to split their purchase into four interest-free payments as well as Financing, which offers flexible payment plans for larger purchases. 

Klarna also recently rolled out its resell feature to U.S. shoppers who use eBay. With just a few taps, users can list past Klarna purchases on eBay—complete with pre-filled descriptions and images—making it easier than ever to extend the life of their items. Since launching in December 2024, there have been over half a million eBay listings generated through Klarna’s app. Whether it’s a refurbished phone or a pre-loved designer bag, the feature promotes conscious consumption and supports a more circular economy. 

“eBay is one of the world’s largest and most dynamic marketplaces, offering everything from the everyday to the extraordinary,” said David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna. “We look forward to expanding our partnership to give millions of U.S. shoppers greater flexibility to purchase what they love — from rare collectibles, to that vintage coat they’ve been eyeing — whenever, however, and in smarter, more personalized ways.”

The launch reinforces eBay’s continued investments toward driving growth and unlocking efficiencies through its global Payments and Financial Services business. For Klarna, this partnership underscores that it’s not just partnering with the world’s largest U.S. retailers — it’s becoming a critical part of how they design, build, and evolve their customer payment experiences and push sustainable commerce forward.
